Voyager 1 Staff Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probes feature three collections, or even divisions, of thrusters: two collections of mindset propulsion thrusters as well as one collection of trajectory adjustment procedure thrusters. During the course of the objective's nomadic flybys, both types of thrusters were made use of for different purposes. Yet as Voyager 1 takes a trip on an abiding course away from the solar system, its thruster necessities are less complex, and either thruster division may be used to point the spacecraft at Planet.
